    A sermon about greed, materialism and the Prosperity Gospel.

    Time magazine’s cover story this month was entitled, “Does God Want You to Be Rich?” The header said, “A growing number of Protestant evangelicals raise a joyful Yes!” The article opens with the story of George Adams, a man from Ohio who had lost his factory job.

    The Hidden World Of Service

     | 4,445 views

    The contrast couldn’t be more stark. Jesus describes his ultimate act of service while the disciples argue over which of them will be the greatest! This sermon stealthily plunges the listener into this contrast; then pulls them out on the right side.

    My dear friends in Christ, I want to tell you about something that I didn’t really begin to figure out until I was about 24. Many of you figured it out long before you reached that age; some of you have not figured it out yet. But when someone finally does learn it, and it begins to sink ...read more

    Jesus talks about growing in stature, but he is not talking about height. He is talking about growing in servanthood.

    Growing in the Right Direction Mark 9:30-37 September 24, 2006 Depending on whom you talk to and who does the measuring, there is any number of different ways to measure a human being. If we wanted to get into an existential discussion of humanity, we would probably remember these famous maxims. ...read more

    On The Road With Jesus

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Sep 28, 2006
     | 2,780 views

    Jesus taught the disciples but they did not always understand! This short homily encourages listeners to ask questions; it also reminds us that God knows about everything we do; and that is both comforting and challenging.

    Are you sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin! Of course, it is always likely that God’s word will make us uncomfortable! When we turn to God’s word, seeking the voice of God, there is always plenty to hear; and this short Bible event is packed full of God’s wisdom, and God’s call to us. Jesus ...read more

     | 2,672 views

    You get the feeling with Jesus and the disciples that they’re never really on the same wavelength. Indeed, you get the feeling that if the group were there together at a fool...

    Yesterday was a great day for this community. Yes, I’m talking about the Newtown-St George Rugby game at Telstra Stadium, where our team, trailing by 2 points with only five minutes to go, ran in two tries to win by ten and get themselves a spot in next week’s Premier League Grand Final.

    The thesis of this sermon is that a Disciple of Jesus Christ is called to be a humble, childlike servant, following in the steps of Jesus.

    A Letter of Straw to resist the storms of life.

    I think I quite like James. I think I like him because he writes like an ordinary human being. He says things much the way you or I would. I find simplicity in his writing. Not that his comments are really simple. Far from it but the easy understanding of what he says seems to compel me to think ...read more

    Who Is The Greatest?

    Contributed by Chris Surber on Sep 26, 2002
    based on 94 ratings
     | 20,646 views

    This is a message on what it takes to be "The Greatest" in God’s Kingdom. It discusses the role of a "Servant Leader" and seeks to explore specifics about being "great" in the Kingdom of God.

    Who is the Greatest? Illustration: Muhammad Ali today is called the greatest. But it hasn’t always been that way. He became the greatest in the eyes of the world over the last 40 years. Muhammad Ali used to “float like a butterfly” and “sting like a bee”. He dazzled crowds with his amazing ...read more

    When I Get Big, I Want to Be Little Mark 9:30-37 Children are born dreamers. You can watch them act out their dreams when they play and pretend.

    based on 20 ratings
     | 8,854 views

    Can you keep from failing, from losing faith? Can you get it back if it has already failed? Can you keep it from failing? Today, we will answer these questions as we see Jesus face a man in this kind of a situation.

    FAITH THAT DOESN’T FAIL Mark 9:14-32 INTRO: At the library a couple of weeks ago, where I often go to study, I saw a car with a bumper sticker. This car was parked in the first space, so it was unmistakable – you saw it the moment you pulled into the parking lot, and it confronted you as you ...read more
